A Photographer's Legal Tool Belt

Nathan Hoerschelmann and Gabe Dietz will walk through practical legal options and solutions for photographers. Topics will include:

• Business entity formations
• Business plans
• Agreement drafting
• Licensing concerns
• Risk mitigation
• Client non-payment

Nathan and Gabe will present options as well as benefits and risks of different business formation options. Participants will gain usable tips on operating agreements, business plans, and other foundational pieces for those wanting to launch a business or elevate their current practice.

Additionally, the class will break down standard contract terms and clauses so that photographers are knowledgeable and empowered to negotiate opportunities with clients. Sample clauses will be provided so that photographers can implement these in their own contracts and agreements, including licensing and non-payment protection.

Attendees should come ready to take notes and feel free to bring along their own contracts for a free review.
